Biological treatment of brine uses microorganisms or biofilms to treat the concentrate by breaking down certain pollutants or transforming the brine into less harmful compounds. This is still an emerging area of research but has potential for future brine treatment applications.
• Applications: Pilot projects, research facilities, and industrial wastewater treatment.
• Advantages: Environmentally friendly, reduces chemical use in brine treatment, and offers a sustainable alternative to conventional brine disposal methods.
